Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
A street view with lovely atmosphere around it, especially the walkway inder the trees! The hanging baskets add the welcoming accent! I remember even now, after so many years, how I hated September...it meant easy life was at an end and going back to school.......it was not exactly my cup of tea!

@Japanalia: Really Gabriela, i loved school so much...funny how things work out ;)

Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States
The dressing on the light poles was the first thing to catch my eyes - still in bloom, while the children are in their jackets (his, quite heavy). I love all the colors, Lorraine, in this great shot.
